Jen Oneal, who joined Blizzard as new co-leader back in August, has announced she’s stepping down from the role and will leave Activision at the end of the year to explore “how I can do more to have games and diversity intersect”.
Oneal, formerly the boss of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy studio Vicarious Visions, was hired as Blizzard co-leader alongside Mike Ybarra following the departure of Blizzard president J. Allen Brack – who left amid the fallout from the State of California’s ongoing lawsuit alleging sexual harassment, discrimination, and a “frat boy” work culture at the company.
